Rousing Rugger Match

At Valley On Saturday

(By "Fly-Half")

In a rousing game of rugger played at Happy Valloy on Saturday afternoon the Club defeated a Navy team by 18 points (five trios and a dropped ponalty goal) to 15 points (three trics and two penalty goal). Both teams wore under-strength.

Interest in the game never lagged and it was anybody's match till the final whistle was blown, so even was the scoring. Scores were made by each team in turn except on one occasion when Navy scored a try and a penalty goal in succession.

Several changes were made to the teams originally announced. Crieve, being available, was played at inside three and MacGrath went back to
